Arise of the Spirit
How does the spirit arise and what has it common with man? At the lowly level of the Spiritual Realm spiritual germs are situated. Their origin will be discussed later. Under the influence of the Primordial Power which radiates stronger here than in the universe a spiritual germ awakes to be conscious in the yearning for the formation of a spiritual being. So as the germ oh the hen instinctively desires to be a hen after the maturation, so the spiritual germ desires to be a spiritual being. But for the hutching of the chicken from the matured egg there are necessary the proper conditions- the higher temperature. On the contrary the spiritual germ needs more cold for forming of a spirit.
As soon as this yearning awakes inwardly it starts to act subconsciously to support this goal - that is to look for suitable conditions. Until the yearning for life does not awake in the germ it lies still as if it were sleeping. Only the desire for the development is the first motion of a spirit. Under the influence of the Law of Motion and the Law of Gravity starts the spiritual germ to fall down from the Spiritual Realm to the lower spheres to be capable of the development. It will stop falling at the boundary of the Ethereal World. There, under certain conditions its cloak starts to be formed; first into the shape of a child who grows and develops gradually into an adult man. Thus, in the Ethereal World the soul is formed into the human appearance as the cloak of the spiritual germ first.
The spiritual germ in the core of the soul remains undeveloped yet. In the development of man the soul must develop at first. Therefore, the ethereal world was formed earlier. When the soul got the human appearance gross matter with the Earth where the souls enter the material bodies in which the spirit develops arose. The entire gross material universe was created for one purpose - for the development of spiritual germs. Ethereal matter is only a temporary stage necessary for the creation of the soul - the cloak of the spirit. The soul is in fact a thread, a mediator by means of which the spiritual germ is connected with the body to act on earth actively and thus, to develop. The body also protects the soul from coarse influences of the outer environment.
Together with the development and maturing of the planet matures also the human spirit through many lives on earth and by the stay in ethereal matter. The spirit becomes eternal and conscious personality in the human form after maturation and therefore it does not need cloaks. They served only as clothes of the spirit in given levels to protect and support its development. Thus, the spiritual germ is gradually converted to a developed spirit.
